Ingredients:
250 gm. unsalted butter
60 gm. lightly packed soft brown sugar
825 gm. can peach halves in syrup
200 gm. castor sugar
3 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
3 eggs - lightly beaten
310 gm. Self-raising flour
150 gm. plain yoghurt
100 gm. evaporated milk
Method:
(1) Lightly grease a 9" round cake tin and line the bse with baking paper. Melt 50 butter and pour on the base of the tin. Evenly sprinkle brown sugar on top. Drain the peaches and arrange the peach halves , cut-side up over the sugar mixture.
(2) Cream the remaining 200 gm. butter with sugar until pale and creamy.
(3) Add in egg one at a time, beating well after each addition. The mixture may look curdled but it will come together once the flour is added.
(4) Fold in the flour alternately with the yoghurt and milk then pour mixture over the peaches in the tin and smoothen the surface.
(5) Bake for 1 hour 25 mins. at 175C or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the centre of the cake.
(6) Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins. before turning out onto a cake rack.
(7) Cool completely before slicing.

Hi Aunty Yochana,
Your peach cake looks so firm and nice.
I'd baked a similar cake before, but it's kind of soft and wet, especially the area around the peach. The cake just broke up easily. On my second attempt, i tried baking it longer but the side and the top got burnt. It's just so frustrating. Now I've given up on it. :(

Hi Regina,
The next time you bake this cake, dry your peach with a towel so that when it's baked, the surrounding area does not absorb too much liquid and as for the side to the tin, try wrapping around with wet towel so that it won't get burnt. Don't give up, you'll definitely will succeed if you try harder.

Hi Reena,
Throw the lemon zest in while creming the butter and sugar.

Aunty Yo,
What is the size of your pan?
If no Plain Yogurt, what else can we use?
hi sunsweet,
make your own yoghurt.
1 cup fresh milk , add in a tsp of lemon juice and let it sit for 15 mins. at room temp and it will turn into yoghurt.

hi aunty yo,
i've baked this yesterday but using apricots & peach together. evrything went fine but i think i've overbaked it, as the top(which bacame the bottom/base/crust) was hard and i've arranged all the peaches/apricots nicely but after baking, it all went to the side, hahaha..think next time i should put it more in the middle...but over all the cake is so yummy and today the base is so much softer...
thanks so much aunty yo!!!
best regards...
